My son sent this to me tonight, and I was wondering if anyone has heard of this, and if so, are there any thoughts on this treatment.

It's still in phase II study stages where they try to establish dosage rates. Next is phase III where they compare results of this drug to placebo group. Those trials may be later this year. If trial pans out, drug may hit market in two years.

This is also known as Mongersen. Celgene recently acquired licensing rights for it from an Italian company. Essentially works by helping upregulate TGF-β, a cytokine that helps keep inflammation in in check.

Thank you for your responses. I also think it's very promising. In fact, we are very excited with just the thought of remission. :)
